I have been a member here on the forum for a little over 70 days and thought I should finally introduce myself. I'm Chris and have been trading on and off for the last 10 years part time. As far as trading experiance I traded elliott wave on 60m hand chart mostly globex currencies and I tried trading stock options on with a MACD style system but it didn't seem to work out as well as the hand charting for me. I am here to learn and grow as a trader also hopefully I can contribute to the community.

Hi I am new to this site. Have been reading a lot of excellent posts and am still searching for a methodology. I've traded Stocks with so so results and am going at this slowly by reading posts and books. Best Wishes everyone.

I'm new to this forum although I signed on a week ago and have been just looking around to see how other traders are doing.

I got into Futures trading back in 1986 with a 50K account and was excited with the potentential trading could bring.
One year later my account was gone and I learned from the start trading is not easy.

Back in 1986 I got live data from a satelite dish that cost $499/month. Orders had to be called in by phone to my broker at Lind Waldock.

Over the years I've traded and blown more accounts in stocks, options & forex. I've tried a lot of programs like Nirvana Systems, Optionetics, Wise Trade, Options Made Easy, Trade Station and currently now in NinjaTrader ...

These days the services and cost to trade are way better than before.

It was not until about three years ago that I've actually started to turn things around with a few autotrade systems.

When you see someone violating the rules of the forum, do not engage them. Do not go back and forth with them. This is the exact opposite of what you should do.

Instead, use the Report Post feature and report the post. The icon is to the right of every post.

In this case, that room is the worst of the worst, and their tactics prove just how terrible they are. They have one of the worst reputations around.

Since I've been a member for 100 days and haven't posted anything, thought that now was as good a time as any. I've been trading my personal account for 10+ years, while working full time as an IT consultant. I plan to make a gradual shift from full-time consulting to full-time trading over the next year.

My main trading platform is Ninjatrader, and I'm actively working on learning Ninjascript.
